For a 2013 GT500. Can anyone tell me where the bypass actuator valve is. I think it's somewhere behind the supercharger on the drivers side but sure cannot find it. Do you have to take the supercharger off to get to it?

VMP was very helpful!

Has anyone had the icp relay go bad? I’m intermittently getting a p1229 code, which related to the pump. The wiring looks ok. I believe the only other components are the relay and the pump. https://www.svtperformance.com/threads/2013-gt500-intercooler-pump-help.1111601/

Reason for the cel codes . Found low compression on cylinders 1-4. Found timing chain tensioner had stuck, causing chain to skip a tooth. Replaced all chains, gears, and tensioners. No more codes! Except….while in the engine found the heads and cams aren’t stock. Which makes the tune I had done...

Previous owners and tuner unknown. Of course was lied to about several things when I bought the car. but like I said, I’m the one who bought it so I have to live with it —and try to get it running ok.

Also found it doesn’t have the stock cams. Now we have to figure out what the cams are so I can get a tune with those included.

Sorry, I didn’t explain everything. Was the plan to also replace the clutch since it didn’t feel right. Found both the clutch and flywheel were toastedl

Timing chains access. Not an easy job!

54,000. may have found the problem. The timing chain tensioner on the bad side was stuck, and the chain jumped a sprocket, knocking the timing off. I’m replacing all the chains, tensioners and gears. — but will be a couple of weeks before they get here. Then will do another compression test and...

Next week--hopefully--taking it to shop where they will pull the timing chain cover and look at the timing chains and gears. If all OK they may also do a leak down test on the left bank cylinders, and look at the cylinder walls with a bore scope. Gonna cost a fortune, but I'm the one who bought...

No coolant in oil

But doesn’t a head gasket usually blow between two adjacent cylinders ? If a head gasket it’s odd that all four cylinders are low.

Have found part of the problem. Along with the blinking CEL it also throws cylinder one and four misfires. Stated previously, I replaced the plugs, did a new tune, swapped injectors and coil packs. Yesterday did a compression test. Cylinders 5-8, 115,115,120,115. cylinders 1-4, 70,60,60,70. :(...

All the wiring looks ok. On my outback they chewed the wiring. Cost $3500 to fix!

I have a large area where the insulation has been eaten by mice. It looks like you'd have to remove at a minimum the engine to replace the whole piece. Any ideas on replacing/patching just the affected area?
